Bioassay-guided fractionation of a hexane extract of the rhizomes of Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. (Zingiberaceae) led to the isolation of three non-phenolic diarylheptanoids, identified mainly by high-field 1H-NMR as trans-trans-1,7-diphenyl-1,3-heptadien-4-one (alnustone),
Diarylheptanoids possess potent anti-inflammatory properties. However, the mechanism of their action is not fully understood. In this study, we found that three diarylheptanoids, 1-(3, 5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-phenylhept-1-en-3-one (YPE-01), yakuchinone B and demethyl-yakuchinone B, reduced
The topical anti-inflammatory activity of three non-phenolic linear 1,7-diarylheptanoids, previously isolated from a Thai medicinal plant, Curcuma xanthorrhiza (Zingiberaceae) and four new semi-synthetic derivatives of the naturally occurring compounds were assessed in the murine model of ethyl
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of YPE-01, a novel diarylheptanoid derivative in vitro and in vivo.
METHODS
In the in vitro study, rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells were used. For the in vivo study, ICR and ddY mice (male, 7 weeks old) were used.
METHODS
In the in vitro
BACKGROUND
The main use of stem bark infusions of Alnus acuminata ssp. arguta (Schlecht.) Furlow (Betulaceae) includes treatments for acute inflammation in Mexican traditional medicine.
OBJECTIVE
n-Hexane (CHE), chloroform (CCE), and methanol (CME) extracts of the stem bark were investigated for
A new cyclic diarylheptanoid namely alnuheptanoid B (3), along with four known cyclic diarylheptanoids: myricanone (1), (+)-S-myricanol (2), myricanone 5-O- -D-glucopyranoside (4), and (+)-S-myricanol 5-O- -D-glucopyranoside (5) were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of Alnus japonica Steud (family:
There have been considerable efforts to search for naturally occurring substances for the intervention of carcinogenesis. Many components from dietary or medicinal plants have been identified that possess substantial chemopreventive properties. An example is curcumin (Curcuma longa Linn.,
BACKGROUND
The rhizomes of Boesenbergia longiflora (Wall.) Kuntze (Zingiberaceae) have been traditionally used for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, aphthous ulcer and abscess by decoction with alcohol.
OBJECTIVE
The rhizomes of Boesenbergia longiflora were carried out to
Corylus avellana L. (Betulaceae) leaves, consumed as infusion, are used in traditional medicine, for the treatment of hemorrhoids, varicose veins, phlebitis, and edema due to their astringent, vasoprotective, and antiedema properties. In previous works we reported from the leaves of Corylus avellana
BACKGROUND
Inflammation triggered by oxidative stress can cause various ailments, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, diabetes etc. In the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in studying the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of plant constituents such as flavonoids and
